    摘要: There are disclosed a method and an apparatus for video encoding. A method can include projecting a 3D representation of at least one object onto at least one 2D patch (400); generating a geometry image, a texture image, an occupancy map and auxiliary patch information from the 2D patch, wherein the auxiliary patch information comprises metadata relating to properties of the patch and one or more indicators for configuring reconstruction of the 3D representation of the at least one object (402); and encoding the geometry image, the texture image, the occupancy map and the auxiliary patch information in or along a bitstream (404).

    摘要: Apparatuses, methods, and computer programs are disclosed for fractional/arbitrary tile grouping. An example apparatus includes circuitry configured to receive a video presentation frame, wherein the video presentation frame represents three-dimensional data; divide the video presentation frame into a plurality of tiles, wherein one or more of the plurality of tiles may be a fractional tile, as part of a process of encoding the video presentation frame, wherein each tile represents a part of the three-dimensional data of the video presentation frame; group the tiles into one or more groups, wherein individual tiles of the video presentation frame have a capability of not belonging to any of the one or more groups; in response to fractional tiling being present, transmit a signal of fractional tiling related syntax or semantics; and provide an encoded video presentation frame to a decoder, the encoded video presentation frame comprising the grouping of the tiles.

    摘要: An apparatus comprising circuitry configured to: receive as input a three-dimensional mesh represented as at least one geometry patch of an atlas and at least one texture patch of the atlas; create an occupancy map that indicates which pixels of the at least one geometry patch and the at least one texture patch are occupied having a valid value; wherein the occupancy map is configured to be used to reconstruct the mesh; enter lossy mode; apply, while in lossy mode, an adaptive smoothing filter algorithm to the occupancy map to discard at least one edge of the occupancy map, and to reduce a bitrate for transmission of the occupancy map; store, while in lossy mode, the adaptively smoothed occupancy map and at least one occupancy filter threshold; and encode the adaptively smoothed occupancy map and the at least one occupancy filter threshold into a bitstream.
